| ==Introduction==
| |
| It seems to be a more or less well accepted fact that the certificate system in EvE Online is less than entirely useful as it currently stands. Articles tend to stress relatively complicated ways of approaching what skills to train. Long descriptions of the skills and how they interrelate are quite important to undersand, but for the beginning pilot, they tend to overwhelm.
| |
|
| |
| The game has a system that can help simplify the decision as to what skills you train by allowing you to focus not on the individual skills so much as the underlying foundations of what pilots end up doing in New Eden. This is the certificate system.
| |
|
| |
| But this too can be overwhelming to the new pilot. Because the game does not demand a certain progression or dictate roles and goals, the pilot is more or less left to her own devices. When she looks at the certificates, to choose wisely, she needs to know more or less what she wants to be when she grows up.
| |
|
| |
| This article explains and details the certificate system, explains how to use it to plan your training, and briefly argues why you should use the certificate system, at least in the beginning.
| |
|
| |
| ==Careers v. Professions v. Jobs/Activities==
| |
| A career and a profession are clearly not the same thing and both of these are different than a job. One way to look at it is to see professions as skill sets and careers as the sets of activities you perform with those skill sets. Jobs would then be specific activities themselves. A real world example is the distinctions between lawyer, public administration, and running a Being a lawyer is being a member of a profession, but administering non-profit organisations is a career which people from many different professions can pursue.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| The certificate system, in my view, should be seen as the professions side of this picture, while the detailed understanding of the skills trees should be seen as the career side. Another useful metaphor might be the distinction between law school (where you learn what the law is) and the training you get in a law form (where you learn how to practice the law).

| ==Getting Started in the Professions==
| |
| The certificate system allows you to train into six 'starter' professions in three broad classes: business, industry, and the military.
| |
|
| |
| ==The 'Starter' Professions==
| |
|
| |
| It is a misnomer to call these professions 'starter'. A better word would be 'main' or 'core'. There are quite a few more skill sets we should be calling 'professions' than these.
| |
|
| |
| Each of the starter professions have racial variants, but only the racial frigate skill is different between them. Each certificate has four grades: basic, standard, improved, elite
